The second most important thing in your life
|
It’s weekend. You’re probably in the couch… and unless you’re reading stuff like this newsletter and review how you can make more money… BAD! ​ You’ve heard me saying it before. The most important decision in your life that will decide most of your chances of success is… ​ ​ ​ ​ Ahh… let me add something. ​ The most important decision that will determine your chances of success and wealth is… ​ ​ The place you live. ​ ​ Yes, sorry. Very simple. ​ Now you wonder, why people all around the world despite Trump and the media saying good and bad things about him and the USA, want to still go to the US. ​ If you live in your home town of 4.100 people… your market is very limited, your providers, your talent pool, the jobs you can access… everything. Limited. Clients and money available to pay for you and/or your services. Very limited. Even if you have good connection to the internet and you dream about a solo freelancering thing. Limited. ​ But let me tell you the second most important thing… ​ And it isn’t what happens to the S&P 500… ​ But, it’s your partner. ​ Yes. The person you marry or stay around with every day.
If that sounds dramatic, it’s because it is. But also: it’s math. Married people build 77% more wealth than their single counterparts, according to research published in the Journal of Sociology. According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve in the US, married couples had $393,000 in median wealth in 2022. Unmarried individuals: $80,000. Economists say married couples are more likely to own appreciating assets. When you have a partner, you share dreams and realities. You’re merging balance sheets and belief systems, and the ROI can show up in every part of your life: Better financial outcomes Higher net worth More emotional resilience A stronger foundation for your kids Longer lifespan, fewer health issues, lower rates of depression. ​ Logically, if you stay in a small town… the pool of potential partners is quite reduced… ​ Well… if you’re single, time to switch to Tinder or… Click in the link below (also valid for happy married ones)

I’m going to give you 50% of the solution to any problem you have. I’m going to tell you what your biggest obstacle is. And just knowing that is already half the solution — because only when you know who your enemy is, can you fight it. And I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking it’s money — if only you had more. Or time — you don’t have enough. Knowledge — that one thing you still need to learn. Charisma, intelligence, or beauty — not enough of it. That thing you need to finish or fix,...
Today I bring you a true story. Or at least, it was told to me as a true story. And even if it wasn’t, the learning is huge. Well… Some time ago, a Filipino fisherman found a deformed pearl. Deformed and huge. It was so strange and so misshapen that he kept it as a good luck charm. And so big that the only place he could store it was under his bed. The thing weighed 34 kilos. Yes… 34 kilos or 75 pounds. One day, ten years later, our Filipino friend just discovered that the pearl was worth 100...
I'm sure you’ve been told this story before. But I don’t care. You need to hear it every day. A North Korean fisherman got distracted in the fog and drifted too close to the South Korean coast. How could he know that? Well… He realized it when his radio picked up a station he didn’t recognize… and… and… They were telling a joke! Yes, a joke. It was about two neighbors fighting over a parking spot. The fisherman laughed. How could there possibly be so many cars that parking would be a problem?...
